| Note:
NAIA also has a great many outstanding Universities
and athletic programs. The NAIA has 2 divisions
also, NAIA D1 and NAIA D2. NAIA D1 schools
in most cases fall somewhere in between
NCAA D2 and D3, although the top NAIA programs
may be even stronger than many NCAA D2 programs.
NAIA D2 programs Tend to be not quite as
strong as NCAA D3, however there certainly
are exceptions to that rule of thumb as
well. |
